Painting of two barges with masts at sunset, workers unloading along a riverbank, yellow and orange sky with swirling brushstrokes and a distant city skyline.

Coal Barges

Thick, swirling brushstrokes render a glowing yellow and orange sunset over a river, with a distant skyline and a green band along the top edge. Two dark-hulled barges with tall masts lie in the foreground, where workers in dark clothing and a figure in green move cargo along the bank.

Español: Barcazas de carbón

Pinceladas gruesas y arremolinadas representan un atardecer resplandeciente de amarillo y naranja sobre un río, con un horizonte lejano y una franja verde en el borde superior. Dos barcazas de casco oscuro y mástiles altos ocupan el primer plano, donde trabajadores con ropa oscura y una figura de verde mueven la carga por la orilla.

Português: Barcaças de carvão

Pinceladas grossas e redemoinhadas criam um pôr do sol brilhante em amarelo e laranja sobre um rio, com um horizonte distante e uma faixa verde na borda superior. Duas barcaças de casco escuro e mastros altos ocupam o primeiro plano, onde trabalhadores de roupas escuras e uma figura de verde movem a carga pela margem.
